We call it Subaruholm Syndrome.

This is a beautiful sunset, which could be enjoyed far better from a train window or as you walk along, feeling the cooling evening breeze on your skin.

New Veo scooter(moped?) with rear storage just dropped 😍

We need more micro mobility share vehicles with cargo space!

If only…oh that’s our stop!

Guilty 😅

Forced Car Dependence in 2 Seconds

Nor do stroads and highways!

Anyone else feeling weird just going through the motions like it’s a normal day right now?

(And no, before anyone asks, we do not let our dog sit in a chair at the counter, this is just for comedic effect)

Such a missed opportunity for a crossover promotion!

With the D Line Metro Extension to Beverly Hills set to open May 8, the LA Metro decided to rerelease this amazing shirt. With all the hype for Heated Rivalry, the crossover opportunity seemed obvious to us 😅🤣.

As we wrap up Black History Month, we wanted to take a moment to highlight a specific element of black urbanism: the HBCU.

Just because YOU can’t move stuff car free doesn’t mean NOBODY can do it!

Spend enough time on transit and you’ll see people transporting packages, groceries, even furniture on the train or bus with the only issue being getting it through the fare gate.

We just saw a group of national guard troops awkwardly standing outside the Metro station near a homeless man. The guard costs a million dollars every day to be here and do NOTHING, but we “can’t afford” to end homelessness.

This has been found to be extremely effective and requires little to no new infrastructure. You just need to reprogram the light sequence!

A few seconds can save a life!

Leading pedestrian intervals are a way to time light changes at intersections to give cyclists and pedestrians a few seconds head start. This makes them more visible to drivers and helps drivers to respect the right of way which people outside of cars have.

We must do better as a nation to end preventable road deaths like Johnny's and the thousands like it!

Johnny's story is tragic and familiar. At least three cyclists die every single day in the USA in car crashes in the United States. Every one of them leaves behind families, coworkers, and friends who feel their absence every day after.

On August 29th, 2024, Johnny and his brother were riding bikes in New Jersey when they were struck and killed by a drunk driver, just a day before their sister's wedding. His loss was felt across the NHL, so much so that his memory was honored almost 2 years later after the US won gold.

At the end of the game, the team brought out a jersey and the children of a fellow hockey player named Johnny Gaudreau.

Congratulations to @teamusa on their gold medal win over Canada in Hockey at the 2026 Winter Olympics!

(yes this is teasing an in depth video someday)

Something that American systems often struggle with however is this maintenance. We need to understand why this is the case, why other countries are better at upkeep than us, and what we can do to fix the culture around maintaining our systems without needing to do big dramatic works every few years

Maintenance is vital to a good transit system!

We talk a lot about the importance of expanding transit systems and services, but it’s also vital that we better maintain what we already have. One thing we applaud @wmatagm.bsky.social for is that they do a great job on the upkeep of their system.

(Also, people DO use the bike lanes in the winter)

“Why should we invest in bike lanes? No one is going to use them in the winter!”

Ok, why did you buy a winter coat? You aren’t going to use it in fall, spring or summer!

Major airports are often the size of small cities. If we can provide them with quality transit, surely we can do the same for the places we live, work, and play everyday!

Is “tunnel envy” a thing? Because POTUS seems to have it!

What are some other punch earning moments or phrases you’ve heard?

(This is obviously a joke/meme. DO NOT ACTUALLY PUNCH PEOPLE!)

Hope you’re having a spicy and safe Valentine’s Day 😉
